PSAT Coming to PGHS
We will be administering the PSAT test to all sophomore students on Wednesday, October 19th. The test will begin at 7:30 am and run for approximately 3 hours. The PSAT is an excellent tool for preparation and practice for the SAT. Sophomores will be given practice books in their English classes. Please make sure that your child prepares with these materials prior to the test to maximize his or her results. Also, please remind your child to come prepared with number two pencils and a calculator. Students will not be permitted to use a cell phone or iPod as a calculator.
Again, students in 10th grade will take the PSAT on Wednesday, October 19th.
